Illustratively, capacity-type electronic dog 200 according to the present invention is illustrated in Fig. 2.It includes 210 sum aggregate of capacitor ring At electronic building brick 220.
Electronic building brick includes and device as touch-sensitive flat-type.They are:
Voltage generator 230;
-DAC 240;
Analogue transmission-reception sub-component 250 can generate on conducting ring 210 and receive sinusoidal voltage.Fig. 2's In diagram, in a receive mode, the capacitance current exported by the measurement of resistance 251 by the generator of touch sensitive surface, order of magnitude allusion quotation It is type 1K Ω;

By by cable or byThe connection of the wireless connection of type, cyberdog can independently carry out and touch-sensitive screen Data exchange, or be used as simple interface, it is describedIt is the quotient of Bluetooth Special Interest Group Mark, is connected to plate or laptop for cyberdog.
Cyberdog can have different types of keys or buttons, to implement the different operation being such as powered.
Fig. 3 indicates the different capacitors for the contact surface being present between cyberdog and the row and column of touch sensitive surface.Every a line 111 all have capacitor 113, and each column 112 all have capacitor 114.Each row and column crosspoint all has mutual capacitance 115.In electricity Coupling between sub- dog and touch sensitive surface has capacitor 300.The Machine Design of cyberdog considers the metal near conducting ring The presence of quality, mode are changing in groups not by the excessive of the conductive component close to ring in the capacitor perceived by touch sensitive surface Disturbance.Connection inductance between this ring and the electronic component of the cyberdog of the hand of touch operation person centainly cannot be excessively high.Electricity The value of the equivalent capacity 252 of sub- dog can be relatively high, i.e., with head office capacitor 112 or column capacitance 113 in the identical order of magnitude.
When cyberdog is applied to visualization screen, the electronic component detection of touch sensitive surface is located at the becket of cyberdog The variation in capacitor in following row and column.Group variation indicates the geometry of the conductive surface of cyberdog.Must with Groups of capacitance variations in the normal use of touch sensitive surface are significant, and are easy to touch phase by the finger with operator Compare to distinguish and select this shape otherwise.For the ease of identification, preferably without any specific orientation by capacitance electronic dog Place any position on the screen.In addition, the contact component of cyberdog is ring-shaped, so that the orientation of cyberdog not phase It closes.
Fig. 4 is expressed as some rows 112 of the touch sensitive surface 110 of dotted line and some column of the touch sensitive surface 110 for white 111.The row and column of touch-sensitive plate in Fig. 4 has so-called " diamond " structure.Circulating electron is indicated with black in this Fig. 4 The conducting surface 210 of dog.Difference between two radiuses of ring must be essentially equal with a spacing of the matrix of touch-sensitive plate. Term spacing is understood to mean that the distance for separating two continuous row or column.Outer dia must be sufficiently large, is retaining reasonable size While, capacity effect can be differentiated according to any label, so that acceptable size is stayed in environmental protection.Good compromise is inner ring With the radius for being equal to about two spacing, outer ring has the radius equal to 3 spacing, that is, one 7 millimeters of spacing are come It says, the outer radius of cyberdog ring is about 20 millimeters.
Caused by the placement as cyberdog detected on the row of touch sensitive surface is illustrated in a manner of theoretic in Fig. 5 Changes delta C in capacitor.Obtain distribution map P, including two peak value PP, by surrounding central channel CPRing interior diameter interval It opens.This distribution map is identical on matrix column.Certainly, active position of this distribution map with cyberdog on touch sensitive surface Variation and it is slightly changed.
Transmission for the large capacity file in sending mode or reception pattern, transmission cycle can be relatively long.But it can It is usually vertical or subvertical depending on changing screen.In this case, it is possible to be equipped with sucker for cyberdog, allow to Cyberdog is fixed to touch-sensitive plate.Thus, user need not pin cyberdog during the transmission.This solution is in Fig. 6 It shows, indicates the sectional view of cyberdog 200.The latter includes sucker 201, is activated by spring piston 202.Moreover, by this Cyberdog is maintained at same position by a sucker, it is not necessary to constantly detect and track the position of cyberdog again.In the case, it shakes Width information can be used for transmitting, and with addition of the quantity for the bit of each symbol transmitted, and improve transmission bit rate.
The method packet communicated between capacity-type electronic dog according to the present invention and the visualization device including touch sensitive surface Include following steps:
Step 1: by point of the determination of the planar annular conductiving metal part of the identification device identification cyberdog of touch sensitive surface Butut;
Step 2: being sent in operation by touch sensitive surface by the detection device identification for being known as " envelope detected " of cyberdog Signal;
Step 3: the preparation of the cyberdog operation mode of touch sensitive surface, sending device are transformed into for sending cyberdog frequency Mode, the reception device of touch sensitive surface is transformed into the mode for receiving cyberdog frequency;
Step 4: being operated in electronics dog pattern, touch sensitive surface and cyberdog are with cyberdog frequency exchange signaling.
In step 1, touch sensitive surface is in normal operating and touches in detection pattern.The identification of capacity-type electronic dog only passes through The identification of the shape of the capacitor ring of cyberdog is completed.At this stage, cyberdog is in spare space, initial when being powered Change.It does not generate any signal, and its synchronous demodulator does not work.But its envelope detected function keeps suspend mode.This makes The contact with touch sensitive surface can be detected by the detection of the amplitude of signal in relevant frequencies range by obtaining it, this is synchronous solution Adjust device impossible, because they do not know the exact value of discussed frequency.
Really, the different screen of the same instrument face plate is worked with different frequency, so that touch sensitive surface does not interfere each other. Therefore, cyberdog primarily ignores the frequency used by its touch-sensitive plate disposed thereon.
Touch sensitive surface detects the distribution map of row and column self-capacitance variation.This distribution map has type shown in fig. 5.Pass through The ratio for detecting the amplitude of the peak swing and central channel of two maximum known to its relative distance of distribution map or peak value comes It is simply completed detection.More advanced identification device can be used.When this first step is completed, the position of cyberdog has been known Set coordinate.In modification, system can show special symbol, indicate " footprint " of cyberdog, and prompt operator by electronics Dog is placed on it face.Thus, the position of cyberdog has been known completely.
Concurrently, in the second step, the envelope detector detection of cyberdog is acceptable in suitable frequency range The presence of the signal of amplitude allows to detect the presence of the touch-sensitive plate of work.Cyberdog starts its synchronous demodulator, is in Stand-by state is to receive message from touch-sensitive plate.
In third step, touch sensitive surface is transformed into cyberdog operation mode.Touch sensitive surface is in specific electron dog frequency The carrier frequency for configuring its generator with visualization screen is known to generator.Preferably, the frequency of cyberdog is selected It is selected as being not used in the frequency for touching detection.In the example of fig. 1, touch sensitive surface is worked with four frequency generators, and four specific Frequency is exclusively used in cyberdog, to optimize the use of available hardware resource.Make these frequencies to known to cyberdog by design.
Plate sends the first message of identification then to cyberdog.In standby mode, and have been detected by with it is touch-sensitive The cyberdog of the current potential of surface contact, when will test the message sent by touch sensitive surface, and will wait specific after the end of message The termination of the area of a room.
In four steps, implement the transmission of data.Cyberdog actually has received that by the first of touch sensitive surface transmission Beginningization message, and waited elapsed time amount after its.
Cyberdog subsequently enters " master " mode, is used for half-duplex transmission.In this mode, cyberdog is with touch sensitive surface with phase Same specific electron dog frequency alternately sends and receives.After it have passed through the time quantum, touch sensitive surface also enters " from " mould Formula, while it waits the communication of cyberdog instruction.
It needs to be most suitable for considered transmission, and is best utilized in the sense that available hardware resource For, semiduplex mode is advantageous.But the so-called full-duplex mode of communication is completely achievable.In this mode, electric Sub- dog sends and receives in different specific electron dog frequencies simultaneously from touch sensitive surface.In this case, it is possible to by a frequency Or multiple frequencies distribute to a direction of communication, remaining distributes to another direction.Touch-sensitive plate is made of row and column, It can also will go with corresponding sending device dedicated for sending mode, will arrange with corresponding reception device dedicated for reception mould Formula.
Certainly, if cyberdog without reception message and is replied in given amount, as long as being still specifically detected electricity The presence of sub- dog, touch sensitive surface just periodically re-emit new initial message.
The cyberdog being arranged in holotype is transmitted to touch sensitive surface successfully obtains message, and instruction establishes communication, and And cyberdog is handling it.
Illustratively, communication protocol is similar to the communication protocol of conventional half duplex transmission, such as in RS-232 or RS-485 The agreement usually transmitted on medium.
During this stage in electronics dog pattern, for half-duplex operation, the electronic component of touch sensitive surface is constantly Scan region corresponding with the surface covered by cyberdog.When touch sensitive surface is sent, it measure the row that so covers with The capacitor read on column.When cyberdog is sent, acted in a similar way by measuring received signal.
Capacitor and the differentiation for receiving signal distribution plots allow to detect any variation in the changing coordinates of cyberdog.Cause And constantly confirm the presence of cyberdog, and constantly refresh its accurate coordinate.This allows to be constantly tracked cyberdog Position in variation, provide good using flexible for operator, the latter can slightly move.Due to only scanning Corresponding to the minimal surface of cyberdog, therefore optimize the time for distributing to the communication of data.
In fact, simplified hardware embodiments are systematically scanned entire touch sensitive surface and are sufficient.But When measuring the row and column far from cyberdog, the signal of transmission can become excessively faint, so that it cannot the communication being successfully established.? At these moment, data are not transmitted, in being reduction of averagely useful bit rate.
Implement the transmission of data on several sinusoidal carriers.By the linear resistance institute of the conductive row and column by touch sensitive surface Caused decaying, it is preferable that the frequency of these carrier waves is maintained to touch the lower end of the frequency of detection.Possible maximum Frequency depends on the characteristic and its size of touch sensitive surface.Typically, this maximum frequency has the value of several hundred kHz.
The period of the symbol of transmission is slightly above the integrated time of synchronous detection, and inverse corresponds to the interval of orthogonal frequency. For the time cycle of 50 μ s, the bit rate that each symbol obtains is 20kHz.
Peak transmission bit rate correspond to each symbol bit rate multiplied by each symbol bit quantity, multiplied by carrier wave Quantity product.
Due to a large amount of bits of a large amount of carrier waves and each symbolic coding that use, the transmission of OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) type Allow relatively high bit rate.
In the case where system has the device for generating and demodulating four carrier frequencies, QPSK (quadriphase PSK) or It is each symbol dibit provided by the modulation of DQPSK (Differential Quadriphase Shift Keying) type.Peak bit rate then has 160 The value of Kbaud, the bit rate are sufficient to the transmission corresponding to RS-232 or ARINC-429 standard.In order to double bit rate, It is also contemplated that using twice of phase value of QPSK modulation.
The modulation of phase, which provides only, to be simplified coding during the transmission and is preserved for tracking the shifting of cyberdog on the screen The advantages of dynamic amplitude information.
In the case where cyberdog is placed determination position on the screen, amplitude is can be used in symbolic coding.Preferably, The selection signal screen position minimum due to the decaying of the resistance characteristic of row and column.
